cairo is the leading city in the arab world. it really sets the own for much of arab life and arab culture. politically, the arab league has been headquartered there and egypt's governments have always had a dominant influence over the politics of the region. then there's the strategic issues. egypt and israel have a peace treaty now and have had one for several decades that the united states has underwritten after decades of war. egypt is sitting next to a volatile libya today where there's a country in flux and chaos and has many weapons flowing out of it. and then as mark mentioned, as well, economic flows through the suez canal continually go through through shipping lanes and it's a real potential choke point for commerce, but it's not a choke point currently but it is a major thoroughfare. so egypt sits at the nexus of these political, strategic and economic interests. we need it make sure that they will are providing as much stability as they can in the days ahead so that the international community has confidence in egyp

it seems to be narrowing down in cairo toward this question. will the siege of gaza be lifted if not in the entirety then in part? and enough to allow enough food and medicine and money to pay the salaries of the administration officials in gaza who haven't been paid a salary for a year, by the way. it looks as though they're reaching agreement there. we're hearing from the israeli sources that hamas agreed they will drop the demand for a sea and airport. they will insist on the lifting of the siege. the question is whether hamas to save face and say the siege has been lifted. it hasn't been lifted to the extend that no weapons will be allowed into gaza to help hamas rearm. that's been israel's main demand. that hamas not rearm and ultimately gaza be demilitarized all together. the two sides are far apart on the key aspects of the negotiations. but it does seem to be some progress in cairo. will the cease-fire will it be prolonged? too early to say. the guessing there's real problem. if that's the case it'll be the first time. >> all right. as
